Those of you planning to go to into flying training in the near future read Grandad Flyers post, then print it off and read it again, once you have got totaly sick of reading it, read it some more!!!!

I went to OATS in Oct 98, did an upgrade, shiny new CPL/IR, large dept, no job. luckly I had bugeted for an instructors rating as well. Got my first job through the ATP scheam in May 2000 for 18 months I had to keep current and renew my IR, I had bugeted for that as well.

If you think that a CPL/IR is the end of the story, you are wrong, very wrong. I todays market you have to keep that current and pay for the renewals. There are cheaper options out there, which may take longer to do, but in this market that is not a problem.
